The Sex Slave

This harrowing two-part documentary from Sweden traces the story of Carola, a mother of five whose love story with schoolteacher Håkan in the idyllic town of Norrtälje gradually turns into a nightmare marked by isolation, control, and sexual abuse. After a whirlwind courtship, Carola soon finds herself submitting to Håkan's increasingly disturbing and controlling demands, including being sold to unknown men for sexual favors in her own home -- all while her children slept upstairs. With interviews from both Carola and Håkan, those close to the family, investigators, and legal representatives, as well as transcripts from thousands of messages between the former couple, The Sex Slave unravels how quickly interpersonal abuses can become integrated into everyday life -- and how no one can know what truly happens behind closed doors.
